THE CAMERA DOESN'T LIE
"The camera doesn't lie" is a seemingly popular quotation/proverb/idiom,
but I couldn't find it in Christine Ammer's AHDOI, Nigel Rees's DOC,
Partridge's DOCP, Stevenson's quotations, Oxford's CODP, and Meider's DAP.
This is from PHOTO-ERA MAGAZINE, January 1931, pg. 4, col. 1:
_The Camera Lies_
(...) We are so accustomed to looking at ourselves in the mirror, and seeing
our best profile, that occasionally we are quite shocked when a camera
exposes a view to which we are not quite accustomed. The camera lies.
The truth of the matter is, however, that the camera doesn't lie; it
merely turns our conceit inward.

(Aetna) is terminating my coverage.
My health insurance expires tomorrow. I leave for Mexico next week.
